At the pro level, you could pull it off, since there's no FPSR.
The fielder is usually trying to tag the runner but stay out of his way: if he slides toward the fielder in that situation, you'd very probably have an FPSR violation and an easy DP call. For HS ball I'd consider this a very low probability play for the offense.
That's not how I'm reading your original play.
